My great-grandpa owned a small trucking outfit in the 30's, 40's and 50's. He specialized primarily in hauling milk from small farms to the processing plants. He had around 3-4 employees and they discussed going Union on him. My great-grandpa told them straight up "I don't blame you guys for wanting to go Union, but you will bankrupt our company in 2 years if you do so." Small businesses can't afford to pay a high wage, contribute to retirement PLUS added benefits like medical. You essentially have to pick 2 out of the 3. Make a higher wage, contribute to your own retirement, and get benefits.
Eventually my great-grandpa retired and sold all of his milk routs to a larger outfit and most of those drivers were Union anyway. They earn a competitive wage, get a pension, and outstanding benefits. If you think the working class (middle class) doesn't deserve to have these things that is up to you to decide.
My grandpa drove for a larger outfit and was able to easily retire at age 59. Those days are slowly but surely disappearing unless you were smart with your money for 30 years.
